Method 2: Turn On and Off Airplane Mode

If the airplane mode of your phone is turned On, then this mode temporarily stops all the connecting networks with your phone including bluetooth.

Once you turn off the Airplane mode, all the network activities will be resumed in a few seconds.

Here’s how you can turn on and off your Airplane mode:

  • Swipe from the Top to pull down the Notification Bar.

Method 3: Turn On and Off Bluetooth

Simply turning OFF and ON the Bluetooth of your phone can solve the issue. Here is how to do it:

  • Scroll down from the top of your phone’s screen to see the Notification Panel.
  • Now tap on the Bluetooth icon to turn it OFF and after 30 Seconds tap again on the Bluetooth icon to turn it ON.

Method 4: Update your Phone

Maybe this bluetooth problem on your Galaxy S23 is due to outdated software. Follow the steps below to install latest Android version available for your phone:

  • Go to the Setting of your phone.
  • Scroll down and tap on Software update.
  • Now tap on Download & Install.
  • If the update is available then tap on download and install it.

Method 5: Unpair all Bluetooth Devices and Pair Again (if possible)

If you are facing an issue with Bluetooth connection with a car, speakers, or phone, try unpairing all of them and then pair again:

  • Go to the Setting of your phone.
  • Now tap on Connections and then tap on Bluetooth.
  • Tap on the Gear Icon on the right side.
  • Now tap on Unpair for the device that you want to remove.
  • Pair the device again.

Method 6: Delete Third Party Apps

I would recommend to uninstall any third-party app that you have installed on your phone which you are no longer using.

Here’s how to uninstall these third-party apps:

  • Go to the Setting.
  • Scroll down and tap on Apps.
  • Here you can uninstall these apps that are no longer for use.
  • Select the App, scroll down and click on Uninstall.

Method 7: Check if your Bluetooth Device is connected to another Device

If you are connecting your Samsung Galaxy S23 with another Bluetooth device then make sure that the device is already not connected to some other device.

Also, in some smartphones pairing a Bluetooth requires a password.

Most of the time, Samsung smartphones connecting with other devices over bluetooth ask you to confirm via pop-up.

Method 8: Turn off the Power-Saving Mode

If Power-saving mode is turned on due to low charge in your phone, it is possible that your phone’s bluetooth might not work properly due to that.

Power saving mode squeezes the whole performance of your phone to give you a long-lasting battery.

So try disabling the power saving mode and see if the bluetooth issue is resolved. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Scroll down the Notifications Panel.
  • Find the Battery Icon and tap on it.
  • This will disable the power-saving mode.

Method 9: Factory Reset

If not a single method is working, consider a complete factory reset. In this method, your phone will erase all the data and information that are stored.

Make sure to create a backup from all your data or try to copy all the data to another device.

Follow the steps to reset your phone:

  • Go to the Setting of your phone.
  • Now scroll down and tap on General Management.
  • Scroll down again and tap on the Reset option and then tap on Factory Reset.
